PREFACE. 

Since the enactment of the United States Civil Service law 
in 1883, the principles of civil service have become very firmly 
established. The scope of the merit system has gradually broad¬ 
ened until today practically all employes of the federal govern¬ 
ment, as well as many city, state, and county employes throughout 
the nation, obtain and hold their positions under the provisions of 
civil service laws. 

Experience has shown that there should be some test required 
for entrance to the public service and no better method of ascer¬ 
taining the fitness of an applicant for employment in that service 
[ has been found than by an examination based on subjects pertain¬ 
ing to the duties of the position for which it is held. 

The work given in this book is designed to cover the three 
grades of examinations given by the Civil Service Commission. 
The work in each subject is divided into lessons of about the same 
scope as a civil service examination on that subject. Many of the 
lessons are almost identical with the examinations recently given 
by the civil service commission on the same subjects. 

Sufficient material has been provided for a thorough drill 
in each subject and all unnecessary matter has been omitted. 
This plan has been used with success in preparing students for 
civil service examinations, and the author confidently believes that 
any person who thoroughly masters the work pertaining to his 
examination given herein cannot fail to attain a high grade on 
each and every subject.

SUGGESTIONS FOR STUDY. 

In order to prepare intelligently for an examination, the 
student must first familiarize himself with its requirements. He 
should provide himself with a copy of the latest manual so that 
he may be informed as to what subjects are embraced in the 
examination he wishes to take, and the grade of each subject, 
whether first, second or third. 

Of course in first grade examinations such as those given 
for the positions of custom house or internal revenue clerk or clerk 
in the departmental service, only the first grade lessons given in 
this book which relate to the required subjects, should be studied. 
Likewise, in second and third grade examinations only the lessons 
relating to those grades in the subjects required should be studied. 
On many examinations, certain subjects have a greater relative 
weight or importance than others. Students should give particu¬ 
lar attention to these more important subjects and aim to be espe¬ 
cially well prepared in them. 

After selecting the different subjects of his examination, the 
student should begin studying them earnestly and systematic¬ 
ally. The following suggestions concerning the study of the 
different subjects may prove helpful. 

Arithmetic.—Each lesson in this important subject should, if 
possible, be worked out in full, before looking at the answers to 
find out if the work is correct. The different processes used in 
solving each problem should not be merely indicated, but all work 
should appear in full on the sheet. Each lesson begun should be 


5 


thoroughly understood and mastered before another lesson is 
taken up. 

Conversion of Currency.—The directions regarding the study 
of arithmetic apply with equal force to the study of this subject. 

Geography.—The student should be provided with a complete 
map of the United States and a good atlas. The preparatory lists 
of cities, capitals, rivers, etc., should be carefully studied. The 
drawing of maps, showing the location of cities, rivers, boun¬ 
daries, etc., is an excellent plan to fix these facts firmly in the 
mind. The different sets of questions or sample examinations 
may afterwards be taken up and the answers learned with the 
aid of a map and the preparatory lists before referred to. Each 
lesson should be studied until every question can be answered 
correctly and readily. Reviews should be frequent in this sub¬ 
ject. 

Spelling.—An excellent method of studying spelling is to take 
pencil and paper and look carefully at each word of the lesson, 
then take the eyes from the book and write it correctly on the 
paper. The entire lesson should be written thus, after which the 
words may be pronounced by another person and written cor¬ 
rectly on paper by the student. The different lessons should 
be studied until all the words in the lessons given can be spelled 
correctly. 

Letter Writing.—In addition to the suggestions found in the 
chapter on this subject, it may be stated that in first grade letters 
at least 150 words are required, in second grade 125 words and 
third grade 100 words. First grade students should select the 
more difficult subjects for practice in letter writing and second 
and third grade students may make use of the easier ones. 

Directions for the study of the other subjects will be found 
when necessary, in the chapter devoted to each.

GEOGRAPHY 


FIRST AND SECOND GRADES. 

The subject of geography is given on both first and 
second grade examinations; the scope of the subject on both 
examinations is practically the same, with the exception that 
the first grade geography includes the United States and a 
knowledge of the location of foreign cities, while second grade 
geography includes only questions relating to the United 
States. Persons preparing for a first grade examination will 
therefore cover all the work given on the following pages, 
while applicants for the second grade will study only that 
relating to the United States, omitting the study of foreign 
cities. 


arms of the united states 

The following list includes the names of the more im¬ 
portant cities of the United States, arranged separately by 
states. Cities of over 10,000 population are given first, fol¬ 
lowed by those under 10,000 which are thought of sufficient 
importance to memorize. The number opposite the name of 
each city denotes the population in thousands. For example: 
Auburn, 15, means Auburn, population 15,000; Boston, 671, 
means that Boston has a population of 671,000. Of course, 
the population should not be learned, but is given only for 
the purpose of comparison.

CONVERSION OF CURRENCY. 


This exercise usually consists of two invoices of about two 
items each and may involve the conversion of German, French, 
Spanish or English money to United States currency. 

In the following invoices the total cost of each item should 
be found first in foreign money and then changed to United 
States money. The total cost of each invoice should then be 
found in both foreign and United States money. If discount is 
allowed, it should be deducted from the total amount of the in¬ 
voice, as shown in United States currency. The work should be 
done on scratch paper and need not appear on your paper.

COMPOSITION AND LETTER- 
WRITING. 

This is an important subject on all Civil Service Examina¬ 
tions. Its aim is to test the applicant’s knowledge of simple 
English composition and his general intelligence. There is no 
better indication of intelligence and general culture than the 
ability to write upon any subject a clear statement of one’s 
ideas expressed in good English; and there is no accomplish¬ 
ment that will more readily show improvement from earnest, 
well-directed practice. 

The test in letter-writing consists of a letter usually from 
125 to 150 words in length upon one and only one of two sub¬ 
jects offered. In grading the letter, its Form, Style, and Sub¬ 
ject-Matter are considered. 

FORM* 

Under the head of Form may be included spelling, punc¬ 
tuation, capitalization, syntax, address, margins, etc. If the 
following directions are carefully studied and adhered to, it is 
possible for the applicant to be almost perfect upon the form 
of his letter. 

The letter must be dated at the place where the examina¬ 
tion is held and must be addressed to the “United States Civil 
Service Commission, Washington, D. C.” We will assume 
that the applicant is taking an examination at Chicago on 
April 23, 1905. On the first line of your paper should be writ¬ 
ten the place and date—Chicago, Ill., April 16, 1905. There 
should be a margin of about one-half inch on each side of the 
paper; the place and date should be commenced far enough 
to the left so that the last figure in “1905” will just reach the 
right hand margin, one-half inch from the edge of the paper. 
On the next line below, and commencing at the left-hand mar¬ 
gin one-half inch from the edge, should be written in full, 
“United States Civil Service Commissionthe first word in 
each line of your letter except the lines that are indented.

164 COMPLETE COURSES IN CIVIL SERVICE. 

should begin under the U in United. The word Wash¬ 
ington on the next line should be written about one inch to 
the right of the U, and the first word in each paragraph should 
be indented the same distance as the word Washington. 
With the exception of the lines that are indented, the left mar¬ 
gin must be perfectly straight. Remember that a deduction 
of from 5 to 10 is made for irregularity in the left-hand mar¬ 
gin. The G in Gentlemen should be written under the U in 
United. In the following model carefully observe the margins, 
punctuation and indentation:

Gentlemen: 

{Begin here the hrst paragraph of your letter.) 

{The hrst word in each pa/ragraph should begin under W.) 

Very respectfully. 

No. 132^8. 

Each applicant is given an examination number, v/hich 
should be written in place of the signature. The name should 
never be signed. 

Particular attention should be paid to Capitalization, 
Punctuation and Syntax. Rules for the use of capital letters, 
the period (.), comma (,), hyphen (-), and apostrophe (’) may 
be found in almost every grammar published. These, and 
the rules of syntax, should be carefully studied. 

STYLE. 

The mark on style is determined from the manner of 
stating facts and ideas, and from the choice and arrangement 
of words. 

One great fault with many letters is that the sentences 
are too long. Sentences should be made short, clear and con¬ 
cise. Do not try to see how long the sentence can be made 
or what large words you can use. Select only words whose 


COMPOSITION AND LETTER WRITING. I65 

meaning you thoroughly understand and arrange them in 
short sentences that clearly express your meaning. 

SUBJECT MATTER. 

The standing upon subject-matter is determined from ad¬ 
herence to the topic selected and the general intelligence and 
ability shown in dealing with the same. 

In writing your letter, choose from the two subjects given, 
the one you know most about. Having chosen your topic, 
jot down on a piece of scratch paper the ideas that come to 
you. Next, arrange your topics in their natural order; then 
write upon each topic your thoughts in full; and go over your 
letter, correcting all errors in spelling, punctuation, etc. Next 
copy your letter neatly and carefully from the scratch paper 
upon your examination sheet. Only one sheet is furnished 
you, so be careful not to blot or spoil it. Do your best work 
and do it neatly. 

For the purpose of illustration we will suppose that you 
have selected the following as the subject for your letter: ‘‘Ad¬ 
vantages and Disadvantages to a Nation of a Large Standing 
Army.’’ The different parts of your letter might be arranged 
as follows: 

1. Introductory Statement. 

2. Advantages. 

1. To aid in the enforcement of its own laws. 

2. For defense against foreign nations. 

3. Disadvantages. 

1. Support of army a burden to the rest of the inhabi¬ 

tants. 

2. Soldiers might be engaged in productive occupa¬ 

tion. 

Remember your topic calls for your ideas on both the ad¬ 
vantages and disadvantages of a large standing army. Your 
letter when completed might appear as follows:

Chicago, Ill., May 15, 1905. 
United States Civil Service Commission, 

Washington, D. C. 

Gentlemen:— 

The welfare of any nation is largely dependent upon 
its ability to maintain a stable government at home and to 
command respect for its policies abroad. For these purposes 
military establishments are recognized by nations as a neces¬ 
sity. 

It is necessary, therefore, for the United States to 
maintain an army large enough to assist, if need be, in the 
enforcement of its own laws, and also to defend itself, should 
a dispute arise with some foreign power. These difficulties 
are much less apt to arise if our foreign policy is supported 
by an adequate military force. 

On the other hand a large army is a source of great 
expense to a nation. Vast sums of money are required for the 
paym.ent of the soldiers and for the purchase of food, clothing 
and munitions of war. This money must be raised by taxing 
the rest of the people, and may become a great burden to 
them. Another great disadvantage is that the thousands of 
able-’ odied men needed to make a large army might otherwise 
be employed in useful occupations. Thus they would be a 
source of great productive wealth instead of a constant drain 
on the rest of the inhabitants. 

Very respectfully, 

No. 12878.

many of the subjects as possible, and the result will be the 
ability to write an excellent letter on almost any topic that 
may be assigned. 


COPYING FROM PLAIN COPY. 

On this subject a high grade may easily be obtained if 
it is given proper attention. Rules for rating are given below, 
and should be carefully studied. 

The left margin should be perfectly straight, with the ex¬ 
ception of lines that are indented; be careful to put in all capi¬ 
tal letters, commas, periods, etc., precisely the same as in the 
copy; don’t omit or repeat a word, and don’t divide a syllable 
at the end of a line. 

RULES FOR RATING COPYING FROM PLAIN COPY. 

From 100 
deduct— 

1. For each word or figure omitted, repeated, substituted, or im¬ 

properly inserted . 5 

2. For each error in spelling, for each transposition, for each abbre¬ 

viation not in the copy, for each failure to capitalize according 
to copy, for each failure to punctuate according to copy, for 
each failure to indent margin as in copy, for each error in 
paragraphing, and for irregularity in left-hand margin. 5 

3. For each misdivision of a word at the end of a line, for each omis¬ 

sion or improper use of the hyphen in dividing a word at the 
end of a line, for each word altered, interlined, or canceled, for 
each blot or minor erasure, if not neat. l 

4. For any other deviation from copy not covered by the foregoing, 

charges are made in the discretion of the examiners. 

FIRST GRADE. 

Fifth Subject—Copying from Plain Copy.—N. B.—Paragraph, spell, 
capitalize, and punctuate precisely as in copy. All omissions and mistakes 
will be taken into consideration in rating this subject. 

Make an exact written copy of the following : 

NO. I. 

No recommendation of an applicant, competitor, or eligible involving 
any disclosure of his political or religious opinions or affiliation shall be 
received, filed, or considered by the Commission, by any board of 
examiners, or by any nominating or appointing officer. In making re¬ 
movals or reductions, or in imposing punishment for delinquency or mis¬ 
conduct, penalties like in character shall be imposed for like offenses.

and action thereupon shall be taken irrespective of the political or religious 
opinions or affiliations of the offenders. A person holding a position on 
the date said position is classified under the civil-service act shall be 
entitled to all the rights and benefits possessed by persons of the same 
class or grade appointed upon examination under the provisions of 
said act. 

NO. 2. 

Sec. 12. Legal Residence.—Every applicant must make oath in his 
application to the place of his legal residence, which must be shown 
continuously to the exact date of application, and be corroborated by 
the “officer’s certificate,” as required on the application. Legal residence 
does not require continuous bodily presence, but refers to the place at 
which the applicant, if a voter, is legally entitled to exercise the right 
of suffrage. Applications for examinations for positions at Washington, 
except for the nonapportioned positions mentioned in section 200, must 
show that the applicant has been a legal resident of the county in which 
he claims legal residence for not less than six months next preceding 
the date of his application. 

NO. 3. 

Sec. 196. Certifications.—Until requested to certify names for filling 
a vacancy, the Commission has no information in regard to any vacancy 
which may exist in any branch of the service. Whenever an appointing 
officer desires to fill a vacancy by original appointment, he makes 
requisition upon the Commission for a certification of names, specifying 
the kind of position, the sex desired, and the salary. Upon receipt of 
such requisition the Commission takes from the proper register of eligibles 
the names of three persons standing highest of the sex called for, who 
indicate in their examination papers that they are willing to accept the 
salary of the position to be filled, and certifies them to the appointing 
officer, who is required to make selection. The appointing officer may 
select any one of the three names. The two remaining names are returned 
to the register to await further certification. 

NO. 4. 

Transportation.—A person residing in the United States who is 
appointed to the Philippine civil service may pay his traveling expenses 
from the place of his residence in the United States to Manila: Provided, 
That if any part of his traveling expenses is borne by the government of 
the Philippine Islanhs, 10 per cent of his monthly salary shall be retained 
until the amount retained is equal to the amount borne by the government; 
And provided further, That if he shall come by the route and steamer

directed, his actual and necessary traveling expenses shall be refunded 
to him at the expiration of two years’ satisfactory service in the 
Philippines. 

NO. 5. 

At another place Rousseau says: “That city in which the child lives, 
the country house of his father, should be the first two points of departure 
in geography; then should follow the places lying between them; the 
rivers in the neighborhood; lastly, the position of the sun and the mode 
of finding one’s way by learning geographical directions. * * * The 

child should make a map of its own, however simple, which should con¬ 
tain only two points at first; others to be added as instruction proceeds, 
and as it learns to estimate distances and positions. * * * Generally 
speaking, never place the sign before the thing, unless it is absolutely 

impossible to produce the thing itself so that it be seen; for the sigfn 

absorbs the attention of the child and causes the thing it represents to 
be forgotten. 

NO. 6. 

Encouraged by such results, the Government is developing a plan for 
& system of irrigation throughout the entire country under the supervision 
of a competent engineer. This must be effected in conjunction with 

the vast system of canals which form the highways of the country and 

intersect this vast plain in every direction. These, through years of 
neglect, have become choked. By the dredging of these old canals and 
the opening up of new ones, Siam’s increasing harvests and improved 
industries must find cheap transport to the sea; and here is another 
problem that awaits solution. 

NO. 7. 

As defined in a regulation of October 12, 1838, the university diplo¬ 
mas are of two orders—an honorary diploma delivered to persons 
(native or foreign) possessed of a doctor’s degree, and who shall have 
given proof of superior ability, and a scientific diploma conferred upon 
examination. Subsequently (1853) a special scientific diploma carrying 
the degree of doctor was created in the interest of persons who, aftei 
having obtained the legal diploma of doctor, should apply themselves 
successfully to some scientific specialty. Subsequent legislation has not 
affected these diplomas. 

NO. 8 . 

The United States Civil Service Commission is directed to render 
such assistance as may be practicable to the Civil Service Board, created 
under the act of the United States Philippine Commission, <or the estab-

by the said Board and the said United States Civil Service Commission.

Sir: We beg to thank you for your favor of 26th instant, also 
telegram of 29th instant, and to express our high sense of obligation and 
thanks for the valuable particulars and advice given us therein in respect 
to the Maria, Mashona, and Beatrice cargoes. 

As indicated per our previous advices the conditions under which 
all our shipments were made (none of which seem to us to be susceptible 
of being considered contraband), makes the question of the seizures 
purely a matter as between Great Britain and the property of her subjects, 
our obligations m respect thereto having ceased at the moment they were 
put on board the respective ships here in accordance with orders to us 
from the importers at the other end.

British Colonies —The systems of education developed in the Brit¬ 
ish colonies have a special interest for citizens of the United States. 
In the system of Ontario, which is described in Chapter VI, local inde¬ 
pendence has been happily combined with a degree of centralization suf¬ 
ficient to insure economy of means and equality of conditions. The prin¬ 
cipal features of this system as set forth in a recent monograph by Mr. 
John Miller, deputy superintendent of education, are presented, and also 
a survey of the practical workings of the system by Hon. George W. 
Ross, the minister of education.

Sec. iS. A person attaining an eligible average on the grade sub¬ 
jects of any examination which comprises all the grade subjects of any 
one grade will not again be required to take the same subjects as a part 
of any technical examination for a period of five years, although, if he 
so desires, he may be re-examined on the grade subjects not oftener 
than once a year. This regulation will not be construed to include the 
stenographer and typewriter examination, for which all the first-grade 
subjects are not required, nor the examinations for clerk (Departmental 
Service), messenger, railway mail clerk, tagger, etc., and the examina¬ 
tions for the Post-Office, Custom-House, and Internal-Revenue branches 
of the service. 

NO. 3. 

Directions to the Coynpetitor .—Write on the accompanying sheet an 
exact copy of the first paragraph given below, including capitalization, 
punctuation, etc., and a corrected copy of the second paragraph. In the 
second paragraph correct all errors in syntax, spelling, punctuation, and 
capitalization, write in full abbreviated words, and make all indicated 
insertions, transpositions, etc. Do not paraphrase the language of the 
copy, or insert, omit, or modify words, phrases, or punctuation marks, 
except as may be necessary to correct errors. 

NO. 4. 

When requisition is made upon the Commission for certification of 
eligibles with qualifications of a technical character for positions in the 
apportioned service m the District of Columbia, but for which only the 
requisite number of eligibles are secured, certification is made of the 
three names standing highest on the register from the State or States 
not having received an excessive share of appointments under the appor¬ 
tionment. However, when the position is of an unusual or highly tech¬ 
nical character and it is difficult to obtain persons competent for the 
position, the three persons standing highest in average percentage may 
be certified without regard to State residence. In this way some c f the 
States have received an excessive share of appointments. (See sec. 39.) 


176

NO. 5. 

Sec. 24. Each applicant for the Philippine Service will be required 
to submit to the examiner, on the day he is examined, a recent photo¬ 
graph, not more than three years old, of himself, which will be filed 
with his examination papers as a means of. identification in case he 
receives appointment. An unmounted photograph is preferred. The 
date, place, and kind of examination, the examination number, the com¬ 
petitor’s name, and the year in which the photograph was taken should 
be indicated on the photograph. 

NO. 6 . 

An application filed for an examination mentioned in section 4 may 
be changed to apply for the same, or if the same blank is required, for 
another kind of examination on a different date and at a different place 
mentioned in said section, provided the request for such change is re¬ 
ceived in time to make the necessary arrangements for the examination. 
Applications for examinations specially announced will be accepted only 
after such announcement is made. An application filed for any exami¬ 
nation will not be good for any other examination except 'as provided 
above. An application will not be approved which is dated, or the cer¬ 
tificate or vouchers of which are dated, more than six months prior 
to its receipt by the Commission. 

NO. 7. 

Sec. 34. (a) When requisition is made upon the Commission for 

certification of eligibles having qualifications not of such an unusual or 
highly technical character as to make it difficult to obtain a sufficient 
number of persons from the different States competent for the position, 
viz., bookkeeper, clerk, messenger, engineer, fireman, etc., certification is 
made of the three eligibles standing highest, of the sex called for, from 
the State at the time having the least share of appointments under the 
apportionment, and therefore entitled to the certification. However, for 
stenographer and typewriter when the requisition indicates a salary of 
$840 or more per annum, certification is made of the highest three eli¬ 
gibles on the general register of the sex called for who are not residents 
ef States that have received their full quota. 

NO. 8. 

Sec. 31. Every competitor in an examination comprising both grade 
subjects and technical subjects and in which the technical subjects con¬ 
stitute 50 per cent of the examination, must obtain an average percentage 
of at least 70 on the technical subjects in addition to attaining an eligibH

grade on the' whole examination in order to become eligible for appoint¬ 
ment. Should a competitor fail to obtain an average percentage of at 
least 70 on the technical subjects, the grade subjects will not be rated. 

NO. 9. 

Applications which have been approved or disapproved and all ex¬ 
amination papers of competitors form part of the official records of the 
Commission, and can not, under any circumstances, be returned to the 
applicants or competitors. Exhibits consisting of photographs, drawings, 
specimens of work, publications, or other materials of a similar nature 
required in connection with certain examinations will be immediately 
returned to all competitors who are ineligible, and to all eligibles upon 
the expiration of the term of eligibility. They will not, however, be 
returned when submitted in connection with the examinations of eligibles 
appointed, except upon the request of the appointees. 

NO. 10. 

Sec. 28. Many competitors either fail in an examination or fail to 
obtain a satisfactory average percentage, not through a lack of knowl¬ 
edge, but largely owing to haste and carelessness in reading and inter¬ 
preting questions and in writing the answers. Especially is this true as 
to technical and professional examinations in which, with few exceptions, 
time is not an element in determining the ratings. While a competitor 
must finish his examination within the prescribed limit of time, he 
should carefully, thoughtfully, and fully answer each question, if possible.

All omissions and mistakes will be taken into consideration in rating this 
subject.] 

Make an exact written copy of the following: 

The present postal policy is to carry newspapers in some cases free, 
and in all other cases at much lower rates of postage than is charged for 
letters; the one being for the public weal, while the other is for private 
benefit. If the telegraph becomes a part of the service it will still be 
the duty of the Department to transmit telegrams for the press at much 
lower rates than for private individuals.

NO. 2 . 

The competitor is permitted to write on either one of two subjects 
given. The following subject has been used: Write a letter containing 
not less than lOO words stating some of the advantages now derived 
by mankind from the art of printing. 

This exercise is designed chiefly to test the competitor’s skill in 
simple English composition. In rating the letter, its errors in form and 
address, in spelling, capitalization, punctuation, syntax, and style, and its 
adherence to the subject will be considered. 

NO. 3. 

Applicants and eligibles must keep the Commission informed of any 
change of post-office address. A failure to do so will be treated as the 
fault of the applicant or eligible, and may result in his losing an oppor¬ 
tunity of appointment. Requests to have the address changed should be 
made by letter, and such letter should relate only to the change in ad¬ 
dress. 

NO. 4. 

13. All necessary explanations will be made to the whole class. 
Examiners are forbidden to explain the meaning of any question or to 
make any remarks or suggestions that may assist in its solution. 

16. From one to three months may elapse before you are notified 
of your ratings. No unnecessary delay will occur in rating your papers, 
and you are requested not to increase the labors of the Commission by 
making inquiries in regard to your ratings, unless you have reason to 
believe that the notice to you has miscarried. 

NO. 5. 

An application from a foreign-born person claiming citizenship, but 
failing to furnish the required proof, will be canceled. A declaration of 
intention to become a citizen will not be accepted in lieu of a certificate 
of naturalization. When the original naturalization papers are lost, a 
copy of the same should be procured from the court that issued them, 
or if the records of the court are destroyed, a new certificate should be 
furnished. 

No. 6. 

Appeals from the ratings are sometimes made by competitors, but 
the prospect of securing a higher rating by such action is very remote. 
Errors on the part of examiners in making charges are seldom found, 
as the work of each examiner is verified and checked in every particular 
by another.

The papers of all the competitors in an examination must be rated 
at the same time, and no competitor’s papers will be made special or be 
rated in advance of the others. 

NO. 7. 

Sec. 9. In all places in the application, vouchers, and certificates 
the first name, middle initial or initials, if any, and surname of the 
applicant must be correctly given and must be uniform and consistent 
throughout the application. Women must prefix the title “Miss” or 
“Mrs.” The post-office address must be in the handwriting of the appli¬ 
cant, and will be changed only upon his written request, which, when 
received, will be filed with the application. 

NO. 8. 

Sec. 2. Schedule of places and dates —An applicant is not required 
to be examined at his place of residence. He may be examined at any 
of the places named in this section at which the examination desired by 
him is scheduled to be held. No request will be granted to take an 
examination at any place or on any date for which it is not scheduled. 
An applicant may take only one kind of examination at one time or 
place. 

NO. 9. 

If the papers of a competitor who makes an eligible average are not 
complete in every particular, his name will not be entered upon the 
register nor will notice of ratings be sent until the papers are completed; 
and if not completed within twenty days after notification of this require¬ 
ment is given the examination will be canceled. 

In cases of alleged collusion the names of the persons suspected will 
not be entered upon the eligible register, should they make an eligible 
average, nor notices of ratings be sent, unless, after thorough investi¬ 
gation, the charge of collusion is not sustained. 

NO. 10. 

Vouchers will not be accepted from the father, mother, sister, brother, 
son, daughter, husband, or wife of the applicant, and not more than one 
voucher will be accepted from a relative of a more remote degree of 
relationship. 

Applicants for the trades examinations and applicants for positions 
requiring professional, scientific, or technical knowledge must file sup¬ 
plementary statements on blanks furnished for that purpose, or in form 
and manner to be prescribed. 

No recommendation other than those provided for by the Commis¬ 
sion can be accepted. 


REPORT WRITING. 

This exercise consists of a printed report or statement, 
usually about five hundred words in length, to be rewritten and 
condensed to about two hundred words. The object is to test 
the applicant’s ability to pick out the essentials in the subject 
matter given and to give a clear statement of these essentials 
expressed in his own English. In addition, it is intended as a 
test of his ability to express himself in.written language. 

The applicant should first read carefully the entire state¬ 
ment in order to determine what are the essentials therein and 
also to obtain a general mental outline of the substance of the 
report or statement. Having done this, he should proceed to 
write his ideas in logical order, omitting all words and expres¬ 
sions not necessary to a clear expression of the main thoughts 
of the subject matter under consideration. Careful attention 
should be given to arrangement, spelling, punctuation and clear¬ 
ness of statement, as all of these count largely in determining 
the rating to be given. 

Exercise No. 1, which is first given in full and then in con¬ 
densed form, will give a general idea as to how this important 
subject should be handled. 

EXERCISE NO. 1 . 

“From an analysis of road building in this country we find that each 
political division has arrogated to itself full authority to construct and 
maintain roads; we find the landowner building a road for his own con¬ 
venience, the township constructing them for a given neighborhood, a 
county constructing them to advance the convenience of the neighboring 
townships, and the states in many instances exercising a supervisory con¬ 
trol over all or building them itself. While each town and city takes 
care of its streets, and while they represent one continuous network of 
roads, they all serve in harmony as many political divisions as are known 
to the state, and the Federal Government will work with these divisions 
in perfect harmony when national aid is accorded to them. Considering 
the relation of roads to realty and coming closer to the land, they are 
the easements which is as much property as the land itself, the means 
of ingress and egress, without which the land would be valueless and 
all the great development of commerce, farm, furnace, and factory must 
depend upon them for prosperity and life. 

“In fact, it might be well said that the value of property depends upon 


180 


REPORT WRITING. 


i8i 


the road or street as related to the population, and to reason inversely 
let us take a central corner in a populous city. It may represent a 
ground value which you could cover with silver dollars, because of its 
accessibility to the great mass of people. A corner farther out and less 
accessible is of less value. We follow this street until it takes up the 
character of a rural pike, and it is infinitely less valuable. We proceed 
farther into the country and find a corresponding diminishing of value. 
We turn to the mud road leading far from the city and all conveniences, 
where there are no bridges spanning the streams and the road becomes 
a mere trail, and though the land may be productive, yet there are no 
conveniences and no inducements; it is almost valueless and so unde¬ 
sirable as to repel settlement. 

“A man’s ideas and purposes are always bettered by fair surroundings. 
Order, neatness, usefulness constitute a sort of high plane of thinking. 
Given the character of the material conditions of a community, and you 
can almost tell how it will vote or in what numbers it will go to church. 
A dirty gutter is an obscene story. A deep mudhole in a country road 
is a nest of profanity. A miserable, old, broken-down hogpen near by 
is a scandal in the neighborhood. A man’s thoughts are largely what his 
surroundings make them. If they are ragged, filthy, and disordered, so is 
his thinking. 

“So making good roads, parks, sidewalks, gutters, the tone of public 
sentiment is elevated, and it can then be counted upon to support the 
true progress of a community. A bad outlook pulls a man down like a 
bad companionship.” 

“We favor a system of national highways which will give the pro¬ 
ducer easy access and reasonable rates to the overcrowded centers, the 
cities and towns, and in turn give this vast multitude of consumers more 
reasonable markets and reduced cost of living, better mail facilities in 
the distribution of knowledge and intelligence, and in making easier the 
road to school, to market, and to church. Those roads once constructed 
will be the greatest legacy that could be handed down to posterity, and 
the moneys paid out for construction would stimulate trade throughout 
the country. States, counties, cities, and townships will construct roads 
and adjoin this great system, and our public highways, like our Nation, 
will become the greatest in the world.” 

EXERCISE NO. 1 CONDENSED. 

From a study of road building in this country, we learn that the 
different political divisions from the lowest to the highest have each 
assumed the authority to construct and maintain roads. All of these 
divisions, including the towns and cities, work in harmony with each 
other and with the State, as will the Federal Government when na¬ 
tional aid is granted. Being the only means of reaching the farms, their 
value, as well as the development of our general prosperity, must de¬ 
pend largely on good roads. 

To show that property values depend upon roads as related to pop¬ 
ulation, take a central corner in a populous city, sometimes almost fab¬ 
ulous in value. Follow this street until it becomes a rural road, then 
perhaps a mere trail, and although the soil may be productive, values 
gradually lessen until the land becomes almost valueless because of the 
badness of the road.

Man is largely what his surroundings make him. Among the im¬ 
provements by which the progress and sentiment of a community can be 
measured, none is more important than good roads. 

We favor a system of national highways that will make easier and 
cheaper transportation for both producer and consumer and, at the same 
time, bring the activities of our different communities in closer touch. 
Such a system of roads together with those built by our states, coun¬ 
ties and cities, would be posterity’s greatest legacy, making this the great¬ 
est nation in the world. 


EXERCISE NO. 2. 

In previous communications to Congress two methods have been 
pointed out by which the water-power sites on nonnavigable streams may 
be controlled as between the State and the National Government. It 
has seemed wise that the control should be concentrated in one govern¬ 
ment or the other as the active participant in supervising its use by pri¬ 
vate enterprise. In most cases where the Government owns what are 
called water-power sites along nonnavigable streams, which are really 
riparian lots, without which the power i^i the stream can not be used, 
we have a situation as to ownership that may be described as follows: 
The Federal Government has land without which the power in the 
stream can not be transmuted into electricity and applied at a distance, 
while it is claimed that the State, under the law of waters as it pre¬ 
vails in many of our Western States, controls the use of the water and 

gives the beneficial use to the first and continuous user. In order to 
secure proper care by the State governments over these sources of 
power, it has been proposed that the Government shall deed the water¬ 
power site to the State on condition that the site and all the plant 
upon it shall revert to the Government unless the State parts with the 
site only by a lease, the terms of which it enforces and which requires 
a revaluation of the rental every 10 years, the full term to la-st not 

more than 50 years. A failure of the State to make and enforce such 

leases would enable the Government by an action of forfeiture to recover 
the power sites^ and all plants that might be erected thereon, and this 
power of penalizing those who succeed to the control would furnish a 
motive to compel the observance of the policy of the Government. 

^ The Secretary of the Interior has suggested another method by 
which the water power site shall be leased directly by the Government 
to those who exercise a public franchise under provisions imposing a 
rental for the water power to create a fund to be expended by the Gen¬ 
eral Government for the improvement of the stream and the benefit of the 
local community where the power site is, and permitting the State to 
regulate the rates at which the converted power is sold. The latter 
method suggested by the Secretary is a more direct method for Federal 
control, and in view of the probable union and systematic organization 
and welding together of the power derived from water within a radius 
of three or four hundred miles, I think it better that the power of con¬ 
trol should remain in the National Government than that it should be 
turned over to the States. Under such a system the Federal Govern¬ 
ment would have such direct supervision of the whole matter that any 
honest administration could easily prevent the abuses which a monopoly

of absolute ownership in private persons or companies would make pos¬ 
sible. 

EXERCISE NO. 3. 

If this bill should pass both Houses of Congress and go to the 
President for approval or disapproval, he could not disapprove the objec¬ 
tionable features of the bill without vetoing the entire measure, and 
however unwise or obnoxious these features might appear to him he 
could not veto them without disbanding the entire Army. The commit¬ 
tee that reported the pending bill could have submitted the legislative 
provisions independently, so they could have been considered and deter¬ 
mined upon their own merits. It is a safe assumption that when such 
important matters of legislation are embodied in a general appropriation 
bill, standing alone they do not po'ssess sufficient virtue to command the 
support of Congress. Many members of this body are opposed to those 
provisions, but they will not be free to vote against them on the final 
passage of the bill, because they can not do so without voting against 
the entire bill, and provision must be made for the support and main¬ 
tenance of the Army. Whatever merit the change in the House rules 
authorizing such legislation on appropriation bills may possess it is more 
than offset by the reprehensible method of tacking provisions of ques¬ 
tionable merit on those bills. I warn the House and the country that 
discredit and scandal are the inevitable result of such procedure. 

This pending amendment proposes to change the term of enlistment 
for Regular Army soldiers from three to five years. That change is pro¬ 
posed against the objections and over the protest of the officers of the 
Government who are responsible for the efficiency of the Army. I have 
carefully read the elaborate report of the committee accompanying this 
bill and have failed to find any substantial reason to justify the pro¬ 
posed change. The report seems to make Gen. Wood, the Chief of 
Staff, the target for shafts of sarcasm and ridicule because of his ob¬ 
jection to the change, and yet the experience of the Government ever 
since its organization has been in accord with his grounds of objection. 
It is much more difficult to secure enlistments of young men in the 
Regular Army under a five-year period of service than it is under a 
three-year period. Furthermore, a better class of soldiers can be se¬ 
cured for a three-year term than for a five-year term. Many young men 
are willing to enlist for three years for the discipline and experience it 
would afford them, but who would not withdraw themselves from civil 
pursuits for a term of five years. The term of enlistment in the Regular 
Army was originally fixed at three years, and since then it has been 
changed to five years and back to three years nine different times. 

Until 1901 the maximum strength of the Regular Army was 25,000, 
and yet it was difficult to keep it recruited up to that standard under 
five-year enlistments. The last period of the five-year term began in 
1869, and the difficulty of securing volunteers was so serious^ that the 
Government was compelled to provide in the contract of ^ enlistment a 
condition under which every volunteer soldier could practically procure 
a discharge from the Army at the end of three years’ service by simply 
requesting it. In 1894 Congress, in view of the experience of the Gov¬ 
ernment under the five-year term, provided that all enlistments should be 
for three years only, and that is the law now.

EXERCISE NO. 4. 

The Employers’ Liability and Workmen’s Compensation Commission 
was organized by joint resolution No. 41, approved June 25,^ "^9 

make a thorough investigation of the subject of employers’ liability and 
workmen’s compensation, and to submit a report through the President 
to the Congress of the United States.” 

The commission recommends a carefully drawn bill which works out 
in detail a compensation for accidental injuries to employees of common 
carriers in interstate railroad business. The only case in which no com¬ 
pensation is to be allowed by the act is where the injury or death of 
the employee is occasioned by his willful intention to^ bring about the 
injury or death of himself or of another or when the injury results from 
his intoxication while on duty. 

It is unnecessary to go into the details of the bill. They are, how¬ 
ever, most admirably worked out. They provide for a medical and hos¬ 
pital service for the injured man, for a notice of the injury^ to the em¬ 
ployer, where such notice is not obviously given by the accident itself; 
for the fixing of the recovery by agreement; if not by agreement, by 
an official adjuster, to be confirmed by the court, and, if a jury is de¬ 
manded, to be passed on by a jury. The amount of recovery is regu¬ 
lated in proportion to the wages received and the more oy less serious 
character of the injury where death does not ensue, specific provision 
being made for particular injuries in so far as they can be specified. 
The compensation is to be made in the form of annual payments for a 
number of years or for life. The fees to be paid to attorneys are 
specifically limited by the act. The remedies offered are exclusive of any 
other remedies. The statistical investigation seems to show that under 
this act the cost to the railroads would be, perhaps, 25 per cent more 
than the total cost which they now incur. 

Three objections to the validity of the bill of course occur: 

In the first place, the question arises whether under the provisions 
of the commerce clause the bill could be considered to be a regulation 
of interstate and foreign commerce. That seems to be already settled 
by the decision of the Supreme Court in the employers’ liability case. 

The second question is whether the making of these remedies ex¬ 
clusive and the compelling of the railroad companies to meet obligations 
arising from injuries, for which the railroad would not be liable under 
the common law, is a denial of the due process of law which is en¬ 
joined upon Congress by the fifth amendment to the Constitution in deal¬ 
ing with the property rights. This question the report takes up, and in 
an exhaustive review of the authorities makes clear, as it seems to me, 
the validity of the act. This is the question which in the Court of Ap¬ 
peals of the State of New York was decided adversely to the validity of 
the compensation act adopted by the legislature of that State. How 
far that act and the one here proposed differ it is unnecessary to state. 
It is sufficient to say that the argument of the commission is most 
convincing to show that the police power of the Government exer¬ 
cised in the regulation of interstate commerce is quite sufficient to justify 
the imposition upon the interstate railroad companies of the liability for 
the injuries to its employees on an insurance basis. 

The third objection is that the right of trial by jury, guaranteed by 


REPORT WRITING. 


185 

the seventh amendment, is denied. As a matter of fact, the right is 
preserved in this act by permitting a jury to pass on the issue when 
duly demanded, in accordance with the limitation of the act. 

EXERCISE NO. 5. 

Mr. Speaker, section 4 of the reclamation act requires the Secretary 
of the Interior to give public notice of the date when water will be avail¬ 
able for the irrigation of the lands under each project, and the provision 
in this bill is inserted to allow the homestead entrymen within all the 
various reclamation projects 90 days’ time after the issuance of that no¬ 
tice within which to get back on the land, reestablish their residence, and 
apply for a water right. In other words, that provision prevents any¬ 
one else besides the original entryman from filing on his land during 
that 90 days. The land is not jumpable during that period. No other 
application to enter the land will or can be received until after the ex¬ 
piration of that 90 days. 

It is fully recognized by the Government officials and everyone else 
that it would be not only utterly useless, but almost inhuman, to try to 
compel settlers to remain upon barren desert lands for many years be¬ 
fore there is any water to irrigate them. Improvements would be worth¬ 
less and the raising of crops impossible. Many of the settlers have been 
compelled to haul water many miles for domestic purposes. Many of the 
settlers have been reduced to destitution, besides enduring untold hard¬ 
ships and depriving their children of schooling facilities in their efforts 
to hold on to their claims. 

The effect of the passage of this bill will be that no qualified entry- 
man who, prior to June 25, 1910, made bona fide entry upon lands pro¬ 
posed to be irrigated under a reclamation project, and who established 
residence in good faith upon the land entered by him, shall be subject 
to contest for failure to maintain residence or make improvements upon 
his land prior to the time when water is available for the irrigation of 
the lands embraced in his entry. But no such entryman shall be entitled 
to have counted as part of the required five-years period of residence 
any period of time during which he was not actually upon his land. 

The Secretary of the Interior expressly decides in these ^matters that 
residence and cultivation upon the land before the water is obtainable 
is not only useless but impossible. Neither the law nor common sense 
requires anyone to do an utterly useless thing. Practically all of these 
homestead settlers are poor people. They can not induct litigation witlr 
the Government. And, in the opinion of the committee, every person who 
was a qualified entryman and made a bona fide filing upon land under 
reclamation projects, and thereafter in good faith established his resi¬ 
dence upon the land, should not be compelled to litigate either with the 
Government or private individuals to maintain his rights, or to prove 
residence or cultivation at any period prior to the time when water is 
available for the land. The passage of this bill will be an act of simple 
fairness and equity between the Government and the homesteaders, and 
it will relieve thousands of worthy settlers from harrassing, vexatious, 
and utterly unwarranted contests and litigation, and will tend to the 
speedy and orderly development of the country under each of the numer¬ 
ous reclamation projects throughout the Western States.

SMOOTH COPY OF ROUGH DRAFT NO. 1. 

At the time of his accession to the presidency the illustrious 
example of the first incumbent had become with Monroe an over¬ 
powering influence. Without Washington’s commanding presence 
nor his transcending fame nor superb endowments, he had grown, 
nevertheless, to resemble him in prominent traits of character. 

In imitation of Washington, Monroe, soon after his inauguration, 
made an extended tour northward. It was in Boston during this 
tour that the felicitous phrase “the era of good feeling,” which has 
now become, by general acclamation, the appropriate epithet of Mon¬ 
roe’s eight-years’ term, originated. The name of Democrat, which 
had been gradually acquiring favor, was dropped for a time, that of 
federalist quite disappeared and even Jeffersonian Republicanism 
lost its earlier significance.
